## A Riemann type definition of a variational integral.(English)Zbl 0749.26006

Recently, the author has defined a coordinate free variational integral on bounded sets of finite perimeter, for which a quite general Gauss- Green theorem is valid [the author, Real Anal. Exch. 14, No. 2, 523-527 (1989; Zbl 0677.26007)]. A Riemann type definition was also given. The present paper shows that this variational integral possesses a simpler Riemann type definition which shows in particular that, in the special case of dimension one, the new integral properly lies between the Lebesgue and the Denjoy-Perron integral. The proofs use a lemma de Congedo-Tamanini on BV sets.
